A Medieval Festival at Waltham Abbey to commemorate Harold, the last Saxon King of England.

We’ve noticed that the Lloyds Bank television advert has been shown again in the last week or so.

Did you know that lovely, sleek black stallion that appears in it is Beau, who comes to King Harold Day and enchants young and old alike.

He really is a star. This week he has been down in Cornwall filming the next series of Poldark.

If the weather has allowed filming to progress to the finish, then he’ll be at King Harold Day, with his usual rider, The Black Raven Knight. Well, let’s hope filming has gone well so we can enjoy having Beau with us once again.

Yes, Beau is back. He couldn’t be with us last year as he was filming then, and hisbusy film star schedule has continued for most of the year. But he has kept his diary free for King Harold Day, and has told The Black Raven Knight to get busy preparing his accoutrements and his own armour.

And because Beau knows he has so many fans, he has promised to bring a list of all his film credits so we can see which films he has been in.
